Marsha Blackburn

I want to thank you all for being here, especially Dr. Enderson, my fellow Tennessean, and we are delighted to have him here and with us today.

What it will do is apply that to ObamaCare, the Affordable Care Act. Now the reason it is imperative, the President promised on numerous occasions, Madam Speaker, that there would be no taxpayer dollars, which become Federal funds, used…

At this time, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Marino), who is one of our Members who had truly a significant career as a prosecutor before coming to this Chamber.

The people who are going to be harmed the most by the anti-GMO activist movement are those who can least fight against it.

And I thank our witnesses for being willing to answer these questions, because we are trying to get to the root cause of this.

What we are looking for is a time frame. You know, are you talking about 1 month, 2 months, 6 months?

How long does it take through this to get recognition, for a company to get recognition?

That flexibility is going to be important going forward, and it is something Congress is going to hold you accountable for.

The slow movement of the bureaucracy in preparing to address these category A situations that you outlined is frustrating.

This is something we have got to get a handle on, and I think you probably realize from listening to our questions, our constituents are very frustrated with the way that much of this has been approached

This is an issue that needs and deserves our attention.

There should be an intensive effort to find and approve a treatment or, better yet, a vaccine to prevent Ebola.

We must ensure that we establish a continuous operation--and provide continuous funding--so we are prepared for the next outbreak.

As I mentioned in my opening, keeping Americans safe, this is where our focus ought to be.

Don't take anything off the table.

The American people need to restore some trust.

This is a problem we can solve.

I have 1500 constituents that are getting ready to go over there. With Ft. Campbell. And will be a part of this process.

I think it's time for us to say how do we address this proactively.

I think the news that came from Nigeria, no additional -- Senegal, no additional outbreaks. That is so positive.

We have to give the American people confidence that they can trust us. Right now the confidence is pretty low.

I think that's a -- it's worthy of discussion. It's a good work around.

To that you say what? I say there should be a way to solve this problem. We all know to successfully deal with the Ebola outbreak, what you have to do is isolate it. The best place to isolate it, West Africa.

Are the American troops going to come in contact with any Ebola patients or with those exposed to Ebola?

I recommended a quarantine in the affected region and hold people there, and I still think that that is something that we should consider.
